Description
Join us on an EdWeb webinar for a thought-provoking edLeader Panel where education leaders will delve into the power of inclusive technology systems. Gain insights into the needs of students, including powerful assistive technologies (AT) to support learning goals and the critical need for accessible educational materials (AEM). We’ll explore real-world examples, discuss the impact on all learners including those with disabilities, and highlight AT and AEM in action. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how inclusive technology systems break down barriers and empower learners.
The Center on Inclusive Technology & Education Systems (CITES) framework, funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs, was co-developed with a cohort of diverse school districts across the country and provides tools and resources for district leaders to develop and maintain inclusive technology ecosystems. Check out the free, openly licensed resources to foster collaboration across EdTech and special education empowering school districts to create and sustain inclusive technology systems to serve all students. This edLeader Panel will be of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
